Nokia jittery ahead of iPhone entry

Explore Business Standard

Commenting on Apple's new product offering, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, president and CEO, Nokia Corporation, said: "iPhone is going to have an impact on Nokia's business in India. First, it is a new competitor, and second, it will increase customers' interest in the market."
Nokia, which has been betting big on its internet-based services, including gaming, music and global positioning system (GPS), under its Ovi brand name, also plans to introduce phones ranging from the very entry-level to mid-range to internet-based ones.
This will enable the company to counter the services provided by iPhone by giving the customer internet data services at affordable prices.
